Summer on the Upper Delaware River

Summer
Trout Fishing on the Upper Delaware River

It’s been an excellent water
year so far and that's resulted in some very good fishing on the Upper
Delaware. The Main Stem trout fishing has been holding up nicely and the West
Branch has excellent cold water flows providing excellent all day fishing
opportunities too.

Sulfurs, Olives, Slate Drakes (as many Delaware fly
fishers call, Isos), and Cahills have been on the trout’s menu offering some
wonderful late evening fishing. This has prompted us to offer a new float
trip package for as long as these conditions hold together.

This Summer,
join us for a Magic Hour evening float trip where you can try
your hand on twilight fishing for the Delaware’s famed wild rainbow trout. This
3 to 4 hour float trip begins with meeting us around 6:00 PM and fishing until
dark from the safety and comfort of a drift boat. Catch the excitement of
evening spinner falls for just $250 for one or two
anglers.

Our Full Day guided trip for up to 2 people is still
available for $425. A five hour Half Day’s trip is $325.

Smallmouth Bass Fishing
on the Upper Delaware RiverField &
Stream Magazine names the Upper Delaware as one of the top five
smallmouth bass Rivers in the US - July 2007

The number one reason you should
fish for smallmouth bass with us is because it's just downright fun! Perfect for
the novice or expert.On spin tackle or on a fly rod the smallmouth is inch for
inch and pound for pound, the sportiest fish in freshwater. As soon as they're
hooked a smallmouth lets off with an exciting series of runs and jumps, fighting
against the rod and giving the impression that it's a far bigger fish than it
is.

Our Full
Day guided Smallmouth trips are for up to 2 people, 8+ hours, snacks, soft
drinks, and lunch included.
